5.0
*I won an advanced copy of Far From Fair in a Goodreads giveaway*
I was not expecting to enjoy a middle grade book so much, but I did. It's one that will stick with you, no matter what age you are.
Odette finds it unfair when her dad voluntarily takes a lay-off, which saves 3 others from losing their job. She starts to create a list of things that aren't fair. Among these are losing their house and having to live in an RV, named the coach; having to share a cellphone with everyone in her family; and leaving her school and friends for an adventure on the road.
Odette quickly realizes that her list of unfairness isn't comparable to many other things. She adds cancer and autism to the top of her list, which both affect family members very close to her.
In the end Odette's family comes together to decide what is best for their family. Odette and her brother, Rex, are finally able to help in making decisions and vote on what they want.
I highly recommend this book for any age of reader! Grab the tissues. It will have you in tears by the end!
